I am trying to complete an icon theme and I cannot seem to find out how to install custom icons. Rather, there are certain windows that I cannot find the icon names for. All of the others have been fairly straightforward; just copy the icon into the icon theme folder and name it with the name of the program. But I cannot get a few applications to work.

Specifically, Skype and Pidgin windows and the Skype notification icon, as well as my home directories (Documents, Pictures, Music, etc.).

What I want to know is what I should name the icons, or what value being used to grab these icons and how to find that value for a specific program.

After some extensive looking and attempts to do what desgua suggested, I have found that the Skype beta as well as the Pidgin windows are hard-coded into the programs and cannot be edited by copying over the icons. I can edit the Pidgin notification icon, but not the Skype one, and I cannot edit either the Pidgin or Skype window icons.

Feel free to answer if you have anything to add, but this as far as I have been able to get with it on any theme. Specifically if you know how to change the Pidgin window icons, it would be greatly appreciated.
